1t Is evident that majority of the
money holders who purchased the
American appreciate the fact thateven
money alone cannot entirely control
public sentiment. This is especially
true as to Tennessee. The people of
the old Volunteer State" are intui-
lively opposed to coercion as was
most strikingly examplified in 1861
when Lincoln demanded that two
regiments of the people should take
up arms against the seeded States.
Instead of obeying him, within sixty
days from that date flfty-five thou
sand men volunteered to defend their
Southern friends. ~

While in Nashville during the
land sales we were informed that q
company Of Eastern capitalists have
proposed to construct cable roads in
that city and the first one to lead out
to the new addition called West
Nashville where so many Lots were
sold this week.
The land company ought to grant
liberal franchise to this company
the introduction Of whose enterprise
and capital would add so much to the
progress of the city. The manifesto
ton of generous and liberal spirit
by the land company will secure the
construction of these roads and moth
ing could add more interest to their
enterprise. Distance from the centre
of the old city can by this means be
virtually abolished and the value of
property in West Nashville would
be enhanced and established as a safe
and judicious point for investment
by hundreds to whom under other
circumstances that location would
not be desirable. a.'.t - s.~s

GAINESVILLE can boast of water

man, elegant churches, handsome
residences, great storehouses, costly
tobacco buildings, wealth on every
side with millions of income. Sur
rounded by rivers, steamboats,, turn

ore and broad acres of timber, coal
fields, and the lovliest women in the
world, and yet can't start aboom nor
afford 800 yards of smooth decent
pavements or street for her beautiful
women to walk on. Is this not lit
strange? And yet it is true. Peo-
pie whostart out to walk, must keep
their eyes to the ground lest they
should slip in a hole or stumble or a
loose brick, and If person goes out
after rain they need arctic over
shoes to wade the puddles of water,
mud, drifts and slashes. For few
instances; Observe the pavement al
the post Office corner, the.most prom
inent corner in town, how the bricks
are torn mp. For another beautiful
example, view the walk from Cald-
wells Stable to the Court House cor
ner and the charming hog wallow
and diseases breeding institution
called water valley, which is com.
ing to be the most frequented street
in the city. Then go out Madison
street to the corporate limits and be-
hold the lovely break neck side walks
and canal finished street where lane
is worth fortunes by the foot. Blu
if making this excursion just after {

WHO THEY WERE.

s. A. G. writing to the American
from Hopkinsville, KY, under date
of May 18th uses this language:
Resuming conversation upon war
matters gathered from former talk
with Mr.. S. G. Mercer, who is taking
Il lively interest in the events of the
day, he told me of the Strong Union
sentiment in this county and men
toned Bristow, Jackson and three
Buckners, who were officers in the
onion army, and he concluded that
there were more officers in that army
than in the Confederate from this
county. He spoke of the Northern
part of the county as being inhabited
by an East Tennessee element. This
element remained prominent, despite
the pleadings ofSGen. Breckenridge,
Roger Hanson and Humphreys Mar
shall, who made speeches here.
Even Gen. Buckner, present candi-
date for Governor, said some one or
ganize command as neutrals, who
declared there should be no fightinS
on Kentucky soil but, when thor
oughly eqipped, went to the Confed-
ates side. 1t was the ,aristocratic ele-
ment that enlisted OH the Conteder-
ate side" .t....
This brief extract win call
up in the minds of every
Southern man in Christian county
the constrast between the elements
composing the Confederate and
the union" parties in 1861. The
men who enlisted in the Confederate
army were of the best families in
Kentucky, gentlemen, by birth, edu-
cation and association, while the
EAST Tennessee element" specified
by s. G. Mercer were of that class
which inherited bitter hatred of
the class of good citizens whom they
hated because of their superiority in
every element that constitutes honor
able manhood. 1t was their innate
hatred and jealousy and not their
love of the Union nor their respect
for the law that made them oppose
the Confederates. The East Ten
nessee element" was illustrated by
the thieves of Stokes cavalry during
the war; and the sandstone line OF
poverty stricken land through East
ern Kentucky, East Tennessee and
the Sandhills of Georgia and Ala
bama marked the location of those
who hated the better people of the
South. Sandstone lodges are nOtpro-
ductive of a high order of genius OF
morals-and the fact is now generally
admitted that you can't make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear. 94 als

Clarksville to Nashville.

A complimentary ticket and the
promise of good company and a
Steamboat ride, with all the comforts
and pleasures thereto appertaining,
from the capital of Montgomery
county to the capital of the balance
of the counties Of the State induced
the editor Of this paper to abandon
the silken luxuries Of his sanctum at
2 o'clock Tuesday morning and take
passage on the steamer DrOuillard to
attend the sale Of lots in West Nash
Vile. We had as fellow voyagers
several parties from Southern Illinois
and points on the river in addition to
Messrs. Lewis, J. J. West Esq, and
Mr.. Martin Elder Of GAINESVILLE.
The river being low and the boat
heavily loaded our progress was nee
essarily anything but speedy, yet the
day was spent pleasantly as the
scenery along the Cumberland is at
many points strikingly beautiful and
attractive. The distance from
GAINESVILLE to Nashville is 65 miles,
and about 20 miles above GAINESVILLE
the Harpeth Shoals set in and extend
about six miles. Considerable money
has been expended in the effort to
deepen the channel here by building
wing-dams, yet the current is swift
and the shoals are anything but at
tractive to steamboat men. Ash
land City near the head of the shoals
in the county seat of Chatham
county and opposite it is the well
known landmark, Sidney's Bluff of
which our old friend, Samuel Powers
Esq, who got ON board at Ashland,
told us a romantic story as the boat
was going by this remarkable cliff.
Two miles above Ashland, on the
north bank, is a towering cliff near
the top of which on the face Of the
rock overhanging the river at a
dizzy heigth one Randle Robertson
about the year 1900 painted a large
red circle and it has been know ever
since as the Rising Sun. Large let
tiers w. ID. R., on the left, and r. r.,
on the right Of the Sun are still plain

house. Mr.. Brown leftat o'clock on
the train for Owensboro, and the
house was burned at IL O'clock. Mr..
Wood is inclined to believe it the
work Of an incendiary, though he has
no clue to any one. The Fire Com

THE FIRST IRON MADE FROM COKE.

From authentic source for the ben
eft of the Historical Society Of the
State of Tennessee we can state the
following fact: The first iron ever
made in the State of Tennessee, in
fact anywhere South of Masons & Dix
on's line, with Coke, was made dur
ing the years 1859 and go by the East
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company at
Bluff Furnace in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. The officers of the
Company at that time were Robert
Cravens, Gen. Whitesides, with Giles
Edwards as Superintendent.
These facts We're obtained from
Giles Edwards, of Edward Furnace,
near Birmingham, Ala. To corrob-
crate the same he refers to Gen.
Warren, Of Nashville, who was at
that time resident of Nashville.

DR. Howard has gained a very high

country misleading the afflicted and
making promises and pretentions
that no honorable physician would
make. He is a conscientious honor
able gentleman as the testimonials
which h0fhas in his possession from
the best element where ever he has
been will testify, this fact Is also de-
monstrated by his frequent visits to
the same place looking after hum
dreds Of patients who have placed
themselves under bis care. Hegives
all who call on him an honest and
candid opinion of their case and will
treat only those who are in reach of
medical skill. The afflicted should

West Nashville.


II
The managers Of the West Nash
vile Land and Improvement Com
pany report sale of 249 lots on Tues
day amounting to $101,S77. The
sale was conducted by T. p. Weak
ley & CO., Shields, Davis, Sharpe O.
Horn, Yarbrough, Maddux & Davis
and the board Of real estate exchange
brokers. Mr.. Weakley announced
the terms of the sale-one fourth cash
and the rest in one, two and three
years. The Banner of Wednesday
says:
The successful opening of the West
Nashville sales yesterday presents the
great enterprise which has been pub
licly inaugurated under such favora-
BILE auspices ina most promising light.
The interest manifested by large
attendance and the very satisfactory
results of the first days sales disarm
the doubts that had been entertained
by many and gives encouragement
to the belief that the new manufact-
uring town will sooner reach greater
industrial and business proportions
than was anticipated by some of the
most hopeful. DIR. Peirce, who orig
mated this movement, has evinced
rare good judgement and executive
ability.
The Evening Telegram of Wednes-
day is enthusiastic on the subject and
thus reports:
The occasion was given military
aspect by the presence Of Harding
and Burns Artillery companies and
the firing of the cannons and Calling
guns.
Another sale will be held in Octo-
Der, when a larger number Of lots will
be sold as the weather will be cooler
and great Improvements will be
made before that time. Over 500
houses will be constructed and many
of the great industries will be under
way, the dummy line will be finished
and what is now country will wear
the appearance of a town. The lots
will bring more then. A hint to
those who want to invest money
buy lots now. Don't wait till Octo-
Der. Mr.. Valentino said that he did
not think more than 500 of /, 800 lots
would be sold at the present sale.
The others will be sold at private
sales and at the October auction
sale. About thirty of the 1900 acres
bought by the Land Improvement
Company, were sold yesterday at
one-third of the cost Of the whole tract.
TO-day's and to-morrow's sales will
probably run up to $4,000. The
Land Improvement Company is sat
isfied with the sales so far.
